Teachers Reading Specialists Homeschoolers Parents ... ESL/ELL TESTIMONIALS - SPECIAL NEEDS I used your leveled books last year and saw tremendous growth, even with severely at-risk students. I have recommended your site to countless teachers. I firmly believe in your philosophy regarding your high-frequency word books, and I feel that reading teachers would benefit from them with their students. Cherry Carl; Reading Specialist and University Instructor at the University of California; San Diego My fourth graders were reading at second-grade level. They refused to read independently or read tests on their own. Now they are reading the tests to me instead of vice versa. My fifth graders were reading at a third-grade level. They are now reading at the fifth-grade level, and their spelling and ability to define words have dramatically improved. Thank you so much, and congratulations on a great line of products. Keep them coming. Kelly L. Hurst; Special Education Program K-8 Resource Teacher I teach in the lowest income school in Dallas, Texas, with a 100 percent at-risk population of students. These kids need reading to escape their environmental challenges and to have a future. Most of my students arrive in my classroom with a pre-K knowledge of reading, despite being anywhere from 10 to 19 years old. You can only imagine how damaged their self esteem is. They really have taken a delight your products, and having a printable book that they can love, keep, and return to time and again is a real treasure. I have seen some amazing strides. Many other teachers in my school, my district and my other "teacher friends" are already hooked on your products because they are so helpful. If you ever sit and wonder if you're making a difference, think of us and know that you are.

The legal qualification is termed "other health impairment" (OHI is the abbreviation). Special Education and related services and aids designed to meet patients' unique needs and prepare them for employment and independent living are provided for by federal law under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA), United States Code Title 20, beginning at section 1400. Although there are many rights and entitlements that are available under this act, the reality is that you have to fight for everything that you get because Congress did not fully fund this law, and the schools are always looking for reasons to deny services or reduce them to amounts that their budgets can withstand.
